Day 2, October 15 - Masterclass

10:30 AM: Product Lifecycle Management

Product development and design impacts how the final product will be delivered. From a product’s weight, to whether it includes fragile mechanisms, to whether production should be located nearer the end customer due to cost reasons, design and logistics need to coordinate and share information to make the right decisions.
Join this Masterclass to explore the key factors for consideration in design and engineering based on Industry 4.0 principles. And how the Design-to-Operate approach can alleviate challenges and transform the status quo.

11:15 AM: Supply Chain Planning

The planning team intersects with other departments to make plans that ensure the smooth flow of materials throughout the product lifecycle. This includes decisions on orders that feed the manufacturing process. Resources that impact logistics such as warehouse space and labor. Or with the service and sales departments – in the case of reverse logistics – when the customer initiates a return.
What are the key considerations based on Industry 4.0 principles? How can the Design-to-Operate approach simplify the business planning process, and make it more intelligent?

12:00 PM: Manufacturing

In today’s digital and experience economy, getting the product to customers as soon as possible helps businesses gain an edge. That means tighter coupling between manufacturing and logistics.

Learn more about how to embed intelligence in manufacturing processes that facilitate Industry 4.0 principles. Discover how the Design-to- Operate approach can enable a single-source of real-time information to eliminate delays and bottlenecks. And propel the company into an Intelligent Enterprise.

Day 3, October 16 - Masterclass

10:30 AM: Supply Chain Logistics

Where is my stuff? And how is it doing? This Masterclass aims to shed light on these fundamental questions based on Industry 4.0 principles. In logistics, other than knowing where our goods are at any single point in time, we also need to know how it is doing? Whether it is being loaded correctly? Handled according to specifications? Or traveling at the right temperature? To answering these questions, businesses need real-time monitoring and end-to-end process awareness.
How can Industry 4.0 principles and the Design-to-Operate approach address logistics challenges today? Join us in this pragmatic discussion to find out more.

11:15 AM: Enterprise Asset Management

How can businesses increase return on assets in an Industry 4.0 context? How can connected assets increase safety for people, improve asset reliability, and help the company drive overall smarter decisions?

Discover how your assets can enhance collaboration across departments throughout the asset lifecycle.
